City officials say work to clear Saskatoon roads of snow is a full day ahead of schedule.
Saskatoon received up to 40 centimetres of snow over the weekend, stalling travel in many parts of the city and closing a number of businesses and city facilities.
In an update Tuesday morning, the city says crews have exceeded initial estimates, which will allow residential snow clearing to begin Wednesday overnight instead of Thursday.
"Yesterday during the day and last night crews made really good progress and essentially completed all priority one streets," director of roadways Goran Saric said.
All major traffic roads are cleared of snow, with second and third priority streets expected to be cleared by Wednesday at midnight.
"Our initial plan was to complete them by Thursday (at) midnight, but we were able to accelerate some of this work. So that's good news," Saric said.
Once that work is completed, crews will move on to residential roads as well as giving on-ramps and bridges some added treatment.
